This important legislation will: • Increase transparency in higher education funding • Help identify potential foreign influence on New Hampshire campuses • Ensure taxpayers and families know where institutional funding originates • Protect academic freedom from inappropriate foreign interference • Strengthen oversight of our state's educational institutions New Hampshire families invest heavily in higher education and deserve to know if foreign governments or entities are influencing the institutions where their children learn.

Respectfully, Masha Bloodworth Manchester, NH

This bill, if passed, puts health and lives of people of all ages at risk, but especially children. This bill, if passed, will put funding for our childcare system in deeper jeopardy. It is already barely hanging together. I spent a good part of my life working with children and families. Who would want to activate such unconscionable harm to people, to our entire state? Please ITL this bill.
